If someone emails you directly could you forward it to me so I can put it in the Destinations page?

If it is smooth ice, the 1m will probably work for you in a decent breeze, 14-16mph. In the lighter winds you may have to sine wave the thing pretty agressively, though it could work.

thanks

Thanks. I've got the vision and Coach has the skills.

Yes, we are working as we speak to pull over some of the past stuff. We are not pulling over Classifieds so if you have anything to sell you'll have to repost it.

glad you like it.

Regarding your destinations example. Once I get some prelim text in there my hopes are that people will add to them via replies. Everyone experiences each place differently.

for now send me any changes via email. We've limited the editing capabilities to moderators. I'll see if we can set it up to let the original poster modify their post.

Separated from the mainland by 1-10 miles of mostly shallow water, the laguna. There are only a few bridges to the island, one up near Corpus Christi on the North end and anot...

Cape Hatteras

Hatteras is a great inexpensive place. Go there to kite or windsurf. Like Padre Texas it is a long narrow strip of land off the N. Carolina Coast. Shallow flat water sound side. Waves ocean side. It is a place I will return to again and again. Here's some snippits, web style. 4-4.5 hours from Raleig...
